The most common is a "max" (contact details in the 1st thread towards the end). It is rated to 2 tonne. Cost me approx $700 delivered + $150 installed, and it has towed my evo to interstate events without any drama's :P

Here's mine.

Cut to expose the rails then side in box section. Bolt thru into the box section for a solid fit.

1500kg braked.

Job was ok as they should have sealed the exposed metal better, will sort that later.

I'm in New Zealand, cost $299 installed with wiring. I removed the rear bumper which saved a lot in labour.

1500kg tow bar on an M35??? thats very good!!

Yes more than enough for what I need.

I did have to mod the small plastic left and right trays where it shows the photo of the plate in the boot so they sit flat.

People love how neat it sits on the car. Just the tongue sticking out with no ugly bars hanging down.

My custom exhaust from turbo back is getting finished tomorrow so will post photos up later. Going for the 'Remus' look :P .

I'm thinking it would be handy to get one, too. Not so keen on hacking up my 260RS body kit for the tow ball though. I wonder if could hide the whole thing and just remove the lower 260RS add-on part of the rear bumper when I need to tow something..

Just had a word with him.

$220 NZD for the towbar, no wiring/plug but can be supplied (It's about $20 for the plug and wiring but you guys could source that over there).

That's for an order of 5 towbars.

The more that are interested the better.

Shipping price I would have to get them to look into but the cost can be broken up between you guys.

Cheers,

Rhys

i think im in! even if i only use it once, being able to tow something would be awesome!

I think I'm in too.

So $240NZD inc wiring.

So what would shipping be?

Since most of the guys here are in Sydney, am I (we) looking at more for Melbourne?

shipping OS is shipping. i dont think the destination matters much. only the setup of his jig to make 5+ at once is worth his while.

anyway, Rhys if you dont mind looking into it, i believe you have 2 people already!

there are plenty of M35s on the forum also.

do you mind taking a picture of the outside of the car with the bumper on please, post-install?

and does your M35 have a standard rear bar or an Aero bar etc??

Yeah that looks good mate, more photos thanks, with bumper back on etc. Where abouts in NZ? Saw a silver one at hamilton nissan dealer recently that had tow bar, only time in nz so far. Also what have you done with original exhaust, i see you have the twin exit pipes on final muffler. My 250RS came with the big bore look but quiet end pipe, not a fan of that look and doesnt really suit it etc. Would like that twin pipe end mufflar.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
